Weekend violence leaves seven injured in Syracuse

Seven people are in the hospital after four shootings and three stabbings on Syracuse streets over the weekend.

The victims range in age between 17 and 36, and the assaults were spread across most of the city. A stabbing in an apartment building kicked off the weekend of violence, followed by downtown, broad daylight and culminated by a shooting outside of the Boys and Girls Club on Shonnard Street.

Syracuse Police continue to investigate the majority of these incidents.
